Birmingham’s largest residential events venue, Conference Aston, has appointed Kirpal Mehta as its new general manager.
Mehta joins with over two decades of experience in the hospitality industry.
Starting his career in 2002, Mehta has worked for brands and organisations throughout the Midlands including Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, Twycross Zoo and Tamworth Snowdome.
At Conference Aston, Mehta will be responsible for overseeing catering and housekeeping services at the venue.
Samantha Brown, head of sales, Conference Aston, said: “Kirpal is a real asset to the team and we are thrilled to welcome him to Conference Aston.”
She added: “He joins at an exciting time for Conference Aston. We have just had an incredibly strong year that was boosted by our work with the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and we want to continue with that.
“For example, throughout Q1, business was up 116% on 2021, which was ahead of the curve of the pre-pandemic period. Across the whole of 2022, we also welcomed more than 66,746 visitors, supported 28 industries and hosted a total of 737 events.”
